Text: Margaret Becker. The Hunger Stays.

Hunger stays, hunger stays
I've been thinking about what I've been through
All the good times, all the bad
And anywhere in between the two

There runs a common thread
Some call it a condition
A hidden chasm that will never fill up
A constant thirst for Your presence
A longing for Your love

The hunger stays, I keep on reaching
The hunger stays, I keep on seeking
The hunger stays through the blessing
Through the bleeding, the hunger stays

I've seen Your rivers in my heart
Seen Your miracles time after time
And when I think I can't take anymore
I see there's so much more to find

The hunger stays, I keep on reaching
The hunger stays, I keep on seeking
The hunger stays through the blessing
Through the bleeding, the hunger stays

I will seek till I can seek no more
I won't give up until I find You Lord
'Cause a hungry man does not pick and choose
He just goes where there's bread
And he keeps pressing through

The hunger stays, I keep on reaching
The hunger stays, I keep on seeking
The hunger stays through the blessing
Through the bleeding, the hunger stays
